Cosmetic compositions capable of forming a multilayer structure after application to a keratinous material

Abstract

Provided are cosmetic compositions capable of forming a multilayer structure after application to a keratinous material. Certain compositions comprise about 1% to 90% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition of water; about 5% to 60% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition of Component A which comprises at least one silicone- and/or hydrocarbon-containing film forming agent having at least one glass transition temperature which is lower than normal human body temperature; and about 0.01% to 90% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition of Component B which comprises one or more silicone compounds in amounts sufficient to achieve a viscosity of about 1,000 cSt to 22 million cSt, wherein the weight ratio of the silicone- and/or hydrocarbon-containing film forming agent(s) in Component A to silicone compound(s) in Component B is from about 1:50 to 50:1.

         6 . The composition of  claim 1 , further comprising a mattifying agent selected from the group consisting of a talc, silica, silicone elastomer, polyamide, wax, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein Component A comprises at least one silicone-containing film forming agent having at least one glass transition temperature lower than 60° C. 
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein Component B comprises at least one polymer having at least one glass transition temperature lower than 60° C. 
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the silicone compound comprises at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of a silicone gum, a silicone fluid, and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one silicone- and/or hydrocarbon-containing film forming agent comprises a hydrocarbon-containing film forming agent selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, high viscosity esters, polyhydrogenated butenes, acrylic polymers, acrylate copolymers, vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) containing homopolymers and copolymers, polyurethanes, polyolefins and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the composition does not comprise polybutene and/or polyisobutene. 
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one at least one silicone- and/or hydrocarbon-containing film forming agent comprises at least one film forming agent selected from the group consisting of a silicone resin, a silicone acrylate copolymer, and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         13 . A kit comprising: (a) the composition according to  claim 1 ; (b) at least one container which contains the composition according to  claim 1 ; and (c) at least one applicator. 
     
     
         14 . The kit of  claim 13 , wherein the at least one container is configured to mix the water and/or Components A and/or B. 
     
     
         15 . A method of applying the composition of  claim 1  to a keratinous material comprising mixing the foundation composition to form a mixed composition in which the water, Component A and Component B are temporarily miscible, and applying the mixed composition to the keratinous material. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the keratinous material comprises skin or lips. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the silicone compound comprises at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of a silicone gum, a silicone fluid, and mixtures thereof.
